Spurs were not up by 27 or something like that.

Manu traveled on that same play. I wasn't terribly upset at the no call on that.

But the no call on the last play... why even bother running the play if Miami can just shove the guy down.

Dude seriously?? Him being fouled which he clearly was and should of been called doesn't change any of what he said about Manu lol. He is a turnover machine and hurt his team big time down the stretch along with his missed fts. He just got finished missing fts. What makes u think he sinks both of those if it's called??

No penetration, no foul. :hihi:

I think spurs can win this. They(heat) have not won back to backs in a while

Popovich will make necessary adjustments and I think we see Manu early and if he's struggling then adios. That guy has turned into a turnover machine. He leaves his feet with undecided intentions way too much. It's so dam frustrating. I love the spurs grit. I think they win game 7 and I also think they win by dd.

Think the spurs are out of tricks and still can't stop the Lebron and 4 shooters lineup.

I don't know why you getting mad at me for, there was no way the refs were going to blow a whistle in that situation. And your telling me your okay with your team best player on the bench in that situation.

Are you serious? If the reffs call that correctly and Manu hits those FTs, everyone is calling Pop a genius for rolling with Manu. It should have gone down that way, but the NBA does what it does best - control the outcome of the game. I'm not surprised. That was the most blatant no-call I've ever seen.

Haha, it appears that way!

If Heat win this series, I say Allen's 3 is the biggest 3 point shot in NBA history. Changes not only this season, but perhaps numerous others in the future. If Heat lose this game, I think the ripple effect would have been enormous.

When you consider the context, I say it is the biggest 3 in NBA history if the Heat win game 7.

Refs made a bunch of bad calls going both ways tonight.

---

They def missed the foul on Manu on that drive down 1. That's a huge missed call. Especially when they just called a foul on what I'm pretty sure was a jump ball but for some reason abc just pushed it under the rug and cut the replay off rt when James was abt to catch the ball. Smdh. I said it in an earlier post also. Popovich out thougt himself by taking Duncan out. Not once but twice Miami was allowed to get orb on missed 3 pt attempts by James. Duncan should not have came out of that game at no point with bosh on the floor. Very stupid move by pop and that's what cost them the game. Without that horrible move there are no missed fts.

Calm down, calm down. The heat have not won a back to back in quite a while

Sexualsloth!

I don't know if Duncan can have another game like he did tonight, and Miami seems to have found a way to limit the 3 point shooting.

The Spurs gave it all tonight, and they should've won. ****, I'm actually really bummed. I wanted them to win so badly.

If Manu can step it up in game 7 and Green can get going again, the Spurs have a chance.

I'm not mad at you man. I'm mad at the refs. Sorry if you feel like I'm taking that out on you, as it's not my intention. But how can you honestly say the refs can't blow the whistle there? Basketball is still basketball, and as Jeff VanGundy said, "If it's a foul for the first 48 minutes of the game, then it has to be a foul in overtime." Spurs should be hoisting the trophy right now. It's despicable.

Hey go back a page Nd I was the first one on here putting that no call on blast immediately. Absolutely pissed me off beyond belief. I actually hit my wall pretty hard hahahha. I'm just saying that no foul call has nothing to do with ginobli hurting his team time after time down the stretch including missed fts.

Pop will have the Spurs ready game 7. Heat are done

What tricks?? I don't think tricks are a consistent happening. Green didn't have another big game from downtown but I honestly didn't expect him to. What he has already accomplished is an all time great thing for the records book. He is very capable of going off in this game 7. This game was lost by the spurs not won by the heat. Popovich doesn't take out Duncan in the end and spurs r champs rt now. I think we know these teams are pretty even on the court. Game 7 will be decided by coaching. Advantage Popovich.

What about this one? What if Phoenix ends up beating Chicago in game 7? Does Jordan still retire? The impact on Barkley and Jordan's legacies would've been significant.

I think this one is up there.

Yeah, Manu played poorly down the stretch, but Pop believed in him, and Manu got the job done. He should have been shooting FTs, and Pop would have looked like a genius. It sucks. It is what it is. I just feel bad for Tim Duncan, who is one of my all-time favorite players. He had an amazing game, and he should have been sleeping with the trophy tonight.

We are totally allowed to have different predictions lol

#rigged is trending on twitter

To be honest, I had no problem with the refs until the very final play, which I understand why they didn't call anything. I disagree with it, but this game was not rigged.

A lot of what-ifs tonight. No matter. I was hoping for a quick series, but it wasn't to be.

At least we know it'll be over Thursday. I'm ready to move on with this already.

What u mean no way they are blowing the whistle there?? That's what's wrong with the Nba now a days. If its a foul and would be called in the first half. Then it should def be called without a doubt with the dam championship on the line. Like i said the bosh block at the end on green could if easily been a body foul. Actually it was a body foul Nd I think it's called in the first half. That was a great play by bosh Nd he palmed that ball. So, I like the no call there. BUT the no call on Manu driving the lane and is absolutely raked across his arms and not only raked across his arms but he even grabbed a hold of his rt arm and yanked it real quick. That's a foul and Manu was attempting a game winning shot. But u say now way they call that??

Nah I know man. I didn't say any different bro. It's all good man. I'm just stating my opinion and detailing why I think different. Nothing more nothing less. :hihi:

If it weren't so late I'd join in !

Not worth working up a sweat over the Spurs/Heat.

Bulls sill have another chance to win the series if Paxson misses. If Allen misses, the series is over. That makes this one bigger to me

Pels will beat both Spurs and Heat next season.

Allen's 3 does NOT trump thus 3 by Paxson. No way no how. Very solid points and a much bigger legacy it solidified As well. James isn't in the same universe as Jordan. Edit: didn't solidify his legacy, lol bad choice of words there. Helped his legacy continue on its path. Much better. Lol..mm made a very good point that this is a game 6 not game 7 winner also. That Phoenix team was very good and wouldn't of been surprised had they pulled it off in game 7. I remember that Paxson game winner like it was yesterday. Amazing time there. Lord I miss the mj days. I really do. You don't 100% realize what u have until it's gone. Which really sucked in this situation.

This is just Pop playing mindgames, giving the Heat some hope. That's all.

Lol. Im sticking to my guns tho. After watching these first 6 games. The heat haven't showed us how or that they are capable of taking 2 from the spurs. I think the spurs win by dd. I have spurs 97 heat 84

I still think the Spurs win. It's just annoying that it played out this way, and I really wish Duncan could have won the ship on the game he had tonight. Amazing game from him.

queens of flop lucked out. can't believe spurs missed 3 late 3's, and why the hell is duncan out the game?

Cut, didn't make, same thing to me.

1. Spurs could have and SHOULD have put the game away on the line.

2. I don't know HOW THE REFS DID NOT CALL ANYTHING on that last Gino drive! I can see why Pop didn't call a TO, because the Heat were so out of disarray that Gino was nearly able to outrun the ENTIRE Heat squad. But for the refs to NOT call that when he was fouled by multiple people MULTIPLE times, it seemed rigged to me. The refs were fine until that last play which I think they did not call because they didn't want the final game of the season to be decided by a whistle, but when the call is that blatant and you don't blow the whistle, expect people to bring up the "rigged" word. That call was almost as bad as the officiating in the 2002 WCF series b/w LA and Sac.

Terrible.

Well done ginobili, prouda you

You people can never be objective when the heat and james are involved uh? I know a lot of james detractors and like me they've all said that yes, that no call on ginobili was ridicolous, but that the heat did suffer all game long from incredibly dumb calls, almost all in the favor of the spurs. Talk about not being able to see what's under your own nose..

I never said I was ok with refs because they were good, the calls were dumb on both sides. ALL game each side was getting dumb calls, but to swallow your whistle in that case is just terrible.

Either way, the Heat didn't win the game, the Spurs lost it due to turnovers and missed FT's.

Win or lose in game 7, Miami has done something I thought it was impossible to do : Building a worst fanbase than the Lakers

Those aren't Heat fans. They're LeBron fans. Bandwagon fans. Of course they jump ship the moment things look bleak.

Well, it was the SOPHOMORE part i was referring to lol.

The Bosh block wasn't a foul. He went up straight, got all ball and Green's body flailed into him. Obviously Manu got fouled, but I couldn't tell until I saw the replay. Should the refs have called it? Sure, if they saw it live, but it wasn't easy to see in live action. Personally, I could only tell with slower motion that he got fouled.

Also, the way Manu was playing, he didn't deserve two late FTs to win. He was garbage and he needs to retire after the season.

Ginobli the Jobber.

Also, the Spurs flat out choked. No doubt about it. Similar to what happened to the Texas Rangers in Game 6 of the 2011 World Series at St. Louis. Imagine being fans of both teams right now. Agonizing.

Th3e whole last sequence with Manu shouldnt have happened. the Spurs were so confused and he drove through the teeth of the defense. I was perplexed by that sequence.
